Arcade Otaku - アーケード オタク

I've seen your outrageous collection recently! Who is your source!?

This is mine . . .

some of the best fighting game art there is !

WTB PMs incoming!

I really have no idea what is considered a rare game or not. I do have a few games that don't show up for sale often. Maybe Rabbit and a Japanese Metamorphic Force? Maybe DDPSDOJ?

Gunnail or Kabuki Z. I have no idea which is rarer.

fz or ordyne
dunno

I have 2x fantasy zone, so ordyne must be rare

Probably Kabuki Z, although I don't have a clue on numbers on releases so could be something else.

Rare or less common Jamma PCBs I own : Edward Randy, Galivan, Legion, Fantasy Zone, Mega Twins, Ghox, Night Slashers, Dangerous Seed, Atomic Robo-Kid, Psycho Soldier, Bermuda Triangle and Haunted Castle (all original).

Less common Jamma kit I own : serial matching Japanese blue B-board of Ultimate Ecology (Eco Fighter).


Rarest Jamma PCBs ever I don't own : Rabbit, Ryu Jin, Nemo (less common CPS-1), Warrior Blade (aka Rastan Saga III), Ninja Warriors, Gundhara, Darius, Darius II, Genpei ToumaDen (you can't see it outside of Japan) and Gradius GX400 version (one of the most expensive game ever).

Mine ddpsdj kit brand new with poster, (maybe my favorite)

Is DDPSDJ really rare though? I mean it's EXPENSIVE as balls, but I know at least 20 people with one or even two.
Cthulhu there is the only one I know with a Rabbit.
Also the other dude here is the only one I know with a Great Ragtime Show with Flyers and art kit.

I'm just saying, Kabuki Z is pretty rare but it's absolutely worthless.

Maybe Gradius II and III?

Danmaku I'd say your Akumajou Dracula is rarer, or am I wrong?

Agree with this. I think it just hasn't really left many arcades in Japan. Which explains why it's expensive.

I bet there will be a flood of SDOJ PCBs in a few years.

Biomechanical Toy I guess.

350 kits produced according to Shou. There are Cave games that have been produced in smaller numbers.

i think the opposite, once resellers, flippers and arcades have sold out theirs you will never see one for sale again.. just like the matsuris and the black labels (not counting mfbl).. just look at how rare yesteryears really common games like ibara, MMP or pink sweets have become, people were tripping over themselves to offload ibara kits for ~$300.. now theyre $1000 and not even with that profit many surface (and there are a ton of em!).

Wow, I had no idea there were so few. Although fairly immaterial in my case, as I don't see myself ever being able to afford it Which were the games produced in even smaller numbers?


Rarest game I own is probably Nemo...followed by Mega Twins. I did have an Edward Randy - but I sold that a good 10 years ago!
